George prefers his history accurate, animals obscure, and costumes ornate. He has a wide streak of humor, a deep love of family, and a strong affinity for purple. He also has Tourette syndrome (primary: gross motor) and OCD. At the start of fourth grade we began exploring his love of learning at home. This website serves as an occasional showcase of what we cover. Thoughtful recommendations and reflections welcome.

Field trip!

George worked exceptionally hard in homeschool to get everything finished so we could go to Statesville Saturday for the 254th anniversary of the Battle at Fort Dobbs (French Indian War).

Currently George is writing a script for a short film he wants to make. He also will write his pen pal back this week. He is enjoying working with photo prompts for creative writing and is producing some wonderful writing.

We're planning a science field trip for two weeks from Thursday and a longer trip to Atlanta for later this spring. George is also raring to go camping again as soon as possible, but the weather doesn't seem to be sticking to warm yet.
